Key Takeaways
- Beige marble feels warm and timeless; white feels bright and luxurious; grey feels modern and dramatic.
- Naming varies by supplier — Statuario is a type of white marble from the Carrara region, while the name 'Botticino' is used for stones from more than one origin.
- Always choose from full-slab photos, not small tiles, to see veining and tone.
- Match the marble colour to your wall paint, furniture and lighting.
Marble is chosen with the eyes, so the best decisions come from seeing full slabs in the light your room will have. These pointers help narrow the options first.
Beige marble: warm and timeless
Beige marbles range from ivory to honey. Botticino-style beiges are a classic for floors and wall cladding. Because the Botticino name is used for stones of different origins, always confirm the origin and see the actual slab.
White marble: bright and luxurious
White marble reflects light and makes rooms feel larger. Statuario has bold grey veining on a clean white base; Carrara is softer with fine veining; Arabescato shows swirling patterns. Whites show marks more easily, so use them where you can maintain them.
Grey marble: modern and dramatic
Grey marbles such as Pearl White, Venatino and Blue Wave suit contemporary interiors and feature walls. They pair well with dark joinery and metal accents.
